It might be the height of drama to explore Boston while galloping through the streets à la Paul Revere, but here’s a more manageable option: The Revolution Hotel in the city’s South End recently partnered with Public Bikes to fit guests with hand-assembled cycles, allowing for a leisurely discovery of this alluring historic metropolis.

Bicycles (much easier to park than horses) are available from Bluebikes, a citywide bike-sharing system. A bicycle docking station sits near the hotel at Tremont and Berkley Streets. From here, cyclists can access the Esplanade, running beside the Charles River, as well as neighboring Cambridge on the river’s opposite bank.

Visit the Bikemap website to locate exactly the type of path you prefer. The site breaks down routes in categories including hilly, uphill, downhill, flat, quick and long routes. The City of Boston gives additional information on locating the best routes to avoid busy streets and taking bikes on board public transport, while Bike the City’s website gives detailed info on specific routes such as the Ride to Olmsted Park, Wompatuck State Park and the Splash Fest Meltdown.

Bring it all together with The Revolution Hotel’s Land and See getaway, which includes a one-night stay in Revolutionary accommodations, two adult tickets to The Museum of Science and two adult tickets to The New England Aquarium (taxes and gratuities are not included). The stylish, charming hotel is located within strolling distance of the Back Bay. On-site dining includes Cósmica restaurant and Kohi Coffee Co.
